“Kristen doesn’t just speak TO a room; she gathers hearts within it. She has a gift of bringing strangers together and somehow, by the end, you find yourself surrounded not by faces you don’t know, but by people who feel like friends—each one now feeling seen, and reminded they’re not walking alone, they’re in this journey together. You’ll laugh, maybe cry, and definitely leave feeling more hopeful, more encouraged, and more connected than when you arrived.”
